THE rgNIrENTIAgY.
Mr.. Scott, from the Penitsntiary Inyes-
tigating Committee, mads minority re-.
port. y, Il '.s.I13 E
Mr.. Scott 'concurs in the committee's re-
port, already made, but adds: .,t5
In justice to myself call attention to
the fact that owing to the very limited
time devoted to tho investigation and the
fact that the majority refused to allow the
official acts OF the Board Of Directors 10 be
inquired into, it was impossible for US to
make full and complete an investigation
as believe we should have made under
the joint resolution. And further wish
to say that the books and sccounta Of the
Penitentiary were not examined by the
committee, and consequently they were
unable to report as to their correctness, !.
Mr.. Scott offered the following reBolu-
tion, preceded by preamble referring to
the constant propositions to allow extra
compensation to attaches OF the Lsgisla-
ture = ;a 5=r' r, ,.5l ~ -
Resolved, That the Judiciary Committee
be and arc hereby instructed to report a
bill fixing tho per diem of clerks and
other attaches OF tho Legislature as it
ought to be and making 1t specially un-
lawful to pay by resolution or otherwise
o greater compensation than that fixed by.
law or to increase the number Of said
attaches beyond that fixed by law. Ender
the rules the resolution lies over one day.
